Enact the Fair Health Claims Act
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, Ohio would set up a help program and stop insurers from wrongly refusing health claims, so patients can get the care they need.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could give Ohio families a new way to challenge denied coverage, keeping insurers honest and preventing costly delays, but it still needs support to become real.
